In May 2013, Liberal Democrat Rosie Jolly, who faces re-election in 2014, defected to the Labour Party...[3]

In June 2013, Jake Morrison resigned his membership of the Labour Party, due partly to internal disputes with the local Labour MP and partly over disillusionment with national Labour policies. [4]
